I'm fairly adaptable and think I'd learn to get along anywhere, but I'm happiest in smallish towns (I grew up in a town of 12,000 people and miss it). I love the benefits of living near a bigger city though, so I guess I'm definitely a suburbanite at heart. (And some people hate the suburbs, and that's okay, too. Whatever floats your boat. :) There are ups and downs to all places, but where the ups outweigh the downs, that's home. :)<br /><br />Also, I may have used an excessive amount of smiley faces...Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263897351215100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-43294075928959968722011-06-30T18:17:22.731-04:002011-06-30T18:17:22.731-04:00Aw, I know what you mean. There's a trade-off ...Aw, I know what you mean. There's a trade-off like you say. :) <br /><br />I lived in Tokyo for awhile my closest comparison, and I loved it. But I remember hot summers where my roommates and I had to sleep in the living room because we had no air elsewhere and couldn't get to sleep in our rooms or grocery shopping everyday b/c there's no such as storage, line drying clothes, etc.<br /><br />omg I miss it. Because like you say there was the experience of life there that was very unique. <br /><br />City life is definitely very different but you also get so much benefit. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-4031766816441554032011-06-29T09:22:17.577-04:002011-06-29T09:22:17.577-04:00I can tell you equally crazy stories about home ow...I can tell you equally crazy stories about home ownership and living in the suburbs, so don't fret!LynnethVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-58587249723577952092011-06-29T07:33:02.054-04:002011-06-29T07:33:02.054-04:00Yes, crazy, but crazy is good. Wherever one lives ...Yes, crazy, but crazy is good. Wherever one lives there are difficulties of one sort or another .... imagine finding one's cat dancing with a snake! Or, as at this moment, having to buy a solution and a backback to put it in and getting a man who can climb palm terees to spray into the very middle of it to prevent a nasty bug from demolishing it entirely. My husband is gadding about on this very errand as i write ... and i am thinking 'Please save the palm tree as I love it so!'<br /><br />I hope you spend many pleasant aircooled hours with your aircon. I can sympathise as it is hot here and there is nothing worse than being bathed in sweat and feeling as if snails are sliding down your skin (see my Wordless Wednesday!)agujahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857809123531088629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-15491601158018240202011-06-28T23:13:21.732-04:002011-06-28T23:13:21.732-04:00Man, my friend, your life is never dull, that'...Man, my friend, your life is never dull, that's for sure!

Yes, it's those little things. We all have a "home soul" - mine is at the ocean. When I lived in the desert of Arizona, I tried to squash my yearning for ocean, saying, "bloom where you're planted." But it's not crazy to be in love with a place, I thinkit's a very real thing.Melissa Ann Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454907380469372468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-84195502705123299352011-06-28T20:27:35.306-04:002011-06-28T20:27:35.306-04:00if it doesn't sound crazy to you, then it isn&...if it doesn't sound crazy to you, then it isn't. you know what matters to you the most. and maybe the a/c unit isn't just the end all for you! ;)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758783620564553796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-23406989194940298152011-06-28T19:50:43.479-04:002011-06-28T19:50:43.479-04:00Totally NOT crazy!

Maybe because it's all so foreign to me? But if it is HOME to you then that's what matters. Home is everything.
